While there are several programs that you can buy for a particular purpose, some of them actually cost a bit, and come to think of it, there’s no point purchasing software when you can get some of them for free, and which work just as well.

So here is a list of software that you can download for free over the internet, and that are very handy than most programs as well:

#1: VLC Media Player

If there’s anything that’s true of VLC Media Player, it is the fact that if it cannot play a media format, then no other player. This software will give you codec error messages, and it plays on all operating systems just as easily too.

#2: ImgBurn

CD/DVD burner utilities are in plenty, and if you work with ISO images a lot and need to burn them on discs, then this might be the best software to use since it makes the task of burning these images on a CD or DVD so simple.

#3: IrfanView

When it comes to viewing and editing pictures, this software is also very useful provided you download the plug-ins as well. Not only can you view pictures but also videos and audio as well, and can be used in conjunction with the VLC Media Player.

#4: Audacity

If you need an audio editor for various sound-related tasks that you might wish to use for podcasting or whatever you normally do, then this free software can do almost anything for you. Despite being free of cost, it rivals professional software such as CakeWalk and so on and so forth.
